"Today's the day" Nerumi said as she met up with her friends

"Yeah, hours from now we ride the storm" Shigure said

"Hopefully we don't get shocked" Kushina worried

"We won't baby" Minato kissed her.

"You got the suits?" Shigure asked

"Sure do" Nerumi said

"Great, today we ride!" Masane said.


"That girl is always cheery, no two bits about her. Not to mention her friends are always there for her. This storm is what I'm really worried about since it will be over a field of possible vast energon deposits" Bumblebee though "Plus there was no response on that communication I secretly sent to them. I wonder why though"

"So when does the race start?" Kushina asked

"A bit over two hours" Masane said checking the weather map while checking the lineup, Bumblebee also looked at the data and became worried

"Oh no" he whispered, Masane must have sense something since she turned to her car and walked over, lifting the hood up

"What's wrong?" she asked

"Just from looking at the entries I can see three cons" Bumblebee said

"Who?" Masane asked

"Drag Strip, Dead End and Wildride. Possibly more" he said

"Okay; I'll keep an eye out for them" Masane said

"Who has a team name like Beachcomber?" Shigure asked

"Not sure, but they do have a dune buggy, but check out the old Willys car" Kushina said

"And these high end cars, you know our little beetle won't keep up" Nerumi said

"hey Masane, check the engine" Bumblebee said

"Okay" Masane checks the engine only to see it change "WHOA!"

"What?" the others asked

"THIS ENGINE!" Masane said "I mean, I didn't think it would be like this"

"My goodness" Shigure said

"Shall we?" she smiled.


The group rode in Bumblebee as they tried him out

'How did we never notice the engine?' Minato pondered as he was flung into Kushina "EASY ON THE CORNERS!"

"Yeah, I hear you" Masane smirked putting her foot down

"WHOA!" the four shouted as the felt the G-Force push them back

"Feel the acceleration" Masane said in joy as she turned the next corner

"Okay! Slow DOWN!" Minato barked

"okay" she said letting off the throttle

"Thank you" they all said, breathing out of relief

"Oh screw you guys" Masane grumped a bit

"You can go all out during the race later on" Shigure said

"Okay" she smiled as while continuing to drive at a normal speed.

'That's it, I'll take over during the race' Bumblebee thought to himself.

"The clouds" Kushina said

"What about them?" Nerumi asked

"They're started to form" She said

"What?" the group asked, turning to see that indeed there were some dark clouds forming making them excited.


"Okay, Downshift and Beachcomber will head to the valley and look out for any energon" Ironhide said

"Yes sir" the two said as they saluted

"And if any cons show up?" Arcee asked readying her blaster.

"Then they'll call us in" Ironhide said

"Oh Scrap!" Bulkhead said

"What is it Bulk?" Tracks asked

"Guys, he's here" Bulkhead said as the team turned to him

"Who?" Arcee asked

"Optimus, he's somewhere on this planet and close by too!" Bulkhead happily called out.


"We are now registered and good to go for this race in an hour" Nerumi said

"Thank Nerumi, so what's the layout this year?" Minato asked

"Same as last year" Nerumi asked

"Let's get this done team" Shigure said as they look out to see the other teams preparing

"Hopefully we don't get shocked" Kushina said

"We won't" Masane said smiling

'Well you won't' Bumblebee mused before he detected something 'Autobots here?' he asked himself before seeing a dune buggy. He switched to his radio to a Autobot only frequency while decreasing the range of it and tried to call out "this is Bumblebee calling any Autobots in range of this message, repeat this is Bumblebee aka B-127" he said "Damn he must have turned off his signal"

"Most of these cars are good looking" Shigure said

"Yeah" Kushina agreed, soon the first distant rumbling of thunder was heard.

"Let's get in" Masane said

"Okay" the group agreed.


"Race is going to start soon and we have three cons to deal with" Downshift said as Beachcomber rolled up next to him

"No kidding" Beachcomber snorted "Why did it have to be the stunticons?" he asked

"No idea" Downshift responded

"The storm will be hitting you guys in about 5 cycles" Ironhide said over radio

"Understood" the two Autobots said as they lined up, next to a yellow beetle and a team of five humans, Beachcomber pondered something

"Something up?" Downshift asked via private communication

"These car next to me is a transformer, but I don't know which one" Beachcomber said

"Just keep an eye on him" Downshift said, as further down the grid Wildride noticed them

"So we got three Autobugs in this race huh" Wildride said

"Should be fun" Dead End chuckled.

"Easy you two" Drag Strip ordered "We don't want to spook them just yet"

"You got it" the other two said.


"30 seconds!" the announcer shouted making all the drivers get to their cars. The teenagers got into Bumblebee with Shigure riding shotgun, Masane driving and the other three in the back, Minato sitting in the middle

"Lucky boy" Nerumi purred

"Now, now Nerumi, you know he's in a relationship with Kushina" Shigure sang out doing his seatbelt up

"I know" Nerumi smirked

"Jerks" Kushina playfully said

"Okay in 3, 2, 1 GO!" the announcer shouted making everyone shoot off the line.

"YAHOO!" Masane called out

"WHOA!" Shigure exclaimed as they landed the first jump and drifted around the first corner

"Not bad sis" Minato smiled.


"THERE!" Wildride said "THAT YELLOW BUG IS AN AUTOBUG!"

"But which one?" Drag Strip asked as they followed Bumblebee

"Who cares, maybe it will lead us to the rest of his unit" Dead End snapped

"YEAH" the other two shouted at they gain on Bumblebee, who noticed

"Scrap" he muttered alerting Masane to something,

"Hey guys" Shigure said in a worried tone "we have company"

"What do you mean?" Kushina asked

"We're being surrounded by those high end cars" Masane gritted her teeth 'I'm betting these are Decepticons'

"I don't like this" Nerumi said as Wildride got closer from behind

"It looks like these guys don't want to play" Minato frowned before hearing two more engines "And here come the beach buggy and the roadster"

"Great pick on the smallest car" Kushina snapped.


"Is she talking to us?" Downshift asked

"I have no idea," Beachcomber responded as he dodged lightning

"We need back up" Downshift said

"I've been trying but the storm is blocking us" Beachcomber replied

"Great" Downshift griped "Oh crap they're heading for the energon"

"How long until they reach it?" Beachcomber asked

"About five minutes' Downshift said

"Scrap" Beachcomber growled

"Downshift to Ironhide, we have a major problem" Downshift called.


During those five minutes The teenagers were forced down a path of the Decepticon's choosing, which was still apart of the race that was going on

"It's like their directing us somewhere" Kushina observed

"Yeah" Minato agreed

"But where?" Shigure asked

"I don't know" Masane said as she tried to get away, only for they to be wrangled but on the path chosen "Damn it, they're really pushy"

'At this rate I may have to transform in front of these kids and I don't want to do that' Bumblebee thought

"Why are there crystals everywhere?" Nerumi asked as she pointed out several shiny blue objects sticking out of the ground shocking the others

"Oh no" Masane dreaded as the lightning nearly hit them

"They do look dangerous" Minato said "TAKE A RIGHT!"

"On it" Masane said as she drifted right, only for one of the cars to stop them

"Now what?" Shigure panicked as an alien noise was heard

"Oh no" the siblings muttered.


"Finally" Wildride said as he and his fellow Stunticons transformed and aimed at the yellow beetle

"Out of the autobug" Dead End snapped making the humans get out

"Their machines, talking machines that form into cars" Nerumi panicked

"Yeah" Shigure nodded

"Minato I'm scared" Kushina whimpered

"It's going to be okay baby, I'm here." he smiled

"Thanks honey" Kushina smiled back.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT!" Masane shouted

"Well she's brave" the other thought

"To conquer this world, and you bags of meat" Drag Strip said

"Over my cooling corpse" Bumblebee said shocking the group "BUMBLEBEE TRANSFORM!" he shouted transforming.

"Oh great" Masane said "there goes the secret of our car"

"WE WERE RIDING IN ONE OF THEM!" Nerumi shrieked.


"It can't be" Dead End gasped

"B-127" Wildride laughed

"We didn't think you were still functioning." Drag Strip said, placing the barrel of his blaster in Bumblebee's face

"A lot of that going around" Bumblebee taunted

"Shut up" Drag Strip snapped

"Look let the humans go, they have nothing to do with our war." Bumblebee said

"Its only a matter of time until we wipe them out, so why not do them the favour of actually doing it now?" Wildride asked

"You truly are evil" Bumblebee spat

"Yeah" the trio said as they aimed at the humans

"I'm sorry guys" Bumblebee softly said

"Its okay Bee, we had a good run" Masane smiled

"If we survive you're explaining everything" Nerumi said

"Okay" Masane nodded

"Any last words?" Drag Strip said

"Kiss my chrome" Bumblebee taunted

"Okay, nice choice" Dead End laughed as he aimed at the Yellow Autobot

"I'm sorry Optimus" Bumblebee said as he closed his optics.


G'day Guys Grizz here and oh boy I knew I wanted to do five chapters originally but this is a bit too fun to stop writing so I'm doubling it like most of my transformers legacyverse fics, but in this one the tension between the transformers starts to ramp up, especially since you have six of them in a race. Now I was going to show more of the race but I got side track with each group reacting to the others, but the next one should be a bit more action packed for you guys to read

So until next time I'll catch you on the flipside
